Jill McCorkle Quotes

You will never be as smart as your subconscious Picture Quote #1

There is a choice to make, a chance to take Picture Quote #1

I feel very protective in the first draft, when all the pieces are coming together. I work in a way that is not linear or chronological at all, even with the short story. I will just be writing bits and pieces, and then when I have all the pieces on the table, that for me is when it feels like the real work begins Picture Quote #1

Certainly if I were to think in terms of a field that would have required a different mode of education, I think I would have leaned in the direction of being a therapist. And without the education, or a different kind of education, I think my first choice would be a landscape architect. I love to garden Picture Quote #1

I thought that we were all like trees, flexible youths, saplings, who grow up heavy and stiff, spread seeds and get chopped down and turned into notebook paper Picture Quote #1

One day, when my son was eight, he came into the kitchen while I was cooking and said: ‘You put bad words in your books, don’t you?’ No doubt he had overheard my mother, who often tells people who ask about my work: ‘Well, you’ll never find her books in the Christian bookstore.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s one of the most basic laws of human nature, isn’t it? The more we are denied something, the more we want it. The more silence given to this or that topic, the more power Picture Quote #1

For me, a happy ending is not everything works out just right and there is a big bow, it’s more coming to a place where a person has a clear vision of his or her own life in a way that enables them to kind of throw down their crutches and walk Picture Quote #1

By limiting or denying freedom of speech and expression, we take away a lot of potential. We take away thoughts and ideas before they even have the opportunity to hatch. We build a world around negatives - you can’t say, think, or do this or that Picture Quote #1

I once had a story editor ask me not to use the word ‘placenta.’ I wanted to say: ‘Now tell me again how you got here?’ Oh, right, an angel of God placed you into the bill of the stork Picture Quote #1

The silver friend knows your present and the gold friend knows all of your past dirt and glories. Once in a blue moon there is someone who knows it all, someone who knows and accepts you unconditionally, someone who is there for life Picture Quote #1

I think that marriage vows should include an escape clause that says the contract is broken if one party ups and makes a big switch in religion or politics or aesthetic taste. I mean, these shifts just aren’t fair, and we need an easier way out Picture Quote #1
